And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will favor you with blessings and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham. Genesis 26:24
Fear is a weapon that Satan uses to destroy people's lives, their destinies and God's plan for their lives. When fear comes in, there is no faith and where faith is, there is no fear. God wants us to be men and women of faith because the Bible says that the just shall live by faith. God does not want you to be bound by fear because it draws every negative thing to you. When you operate in faith, you move God on your behalf and Satan wants to rob your ability to be a witness for God.Fear comes to steal, kill and destroy, to render you helpless and to stop you in your tracks. It is time for the body of Christ to stop being bed partners with fear. It is not a part of our nature. We need to make up our minds that nothing is going to stop us from being and receiving all that God has for us. Make up your mind to deal with the spirit of fear today.
You cannot serve God in fear.That he would grant unto us, that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear. Luke 1:74 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 When you start walking by faith and not by sight, you are moving ahead. You have a greater advantage to accomplish more in your life because you have God on your side. Since God is for you, who can be against you? The Lord has spoken peace into your life for this year. Walk in the peace of God. Know that God has your back in every situation.
This is my confession in agreement with you: Father, I receive your anointing, the burden-removing, yoke-destroying power of God upon my life so that I can be the person you have called me to be. I want to walk worthy unto You and glorify You all the days of my life. I am the redeemed of the Lord. I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. I resist the spirit of fear. I humble myself under the hand of Almighty God. I resist every foul and demonic spirit that will attack my faith. I am not given to fear. I am given to faith. I walk by faith and not by sight. I receive the promises of Almighty God in my life, in Jesus' name. I am going to the other side. I am crossing into the Promised Land, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Take ownership of your life by meditating and speaking the Word of God over your life, over your family, over your finances, over your health, over your job. Let prayer and confession become your lifestyle. I want to encourage you to stand in your God given authority, stand strong, be of good courage, dismiss any negative thought and know that you are victorious!

The Power of Praise
Do you need a sudden blessing from the Lord?
The infirmed woman was bowed over and couldn't straighten herself, yet she was desperate to receive a Word from the Lord. She made her way to church to hear a young, relatively unknown rhabi deliver the Word. His name was Jesus. Immediately, quickly and straightway is how the infirmed woman received her blessing. Note the correlation. Although her suffering had lasted 18 years, she attended service that day, sought the Lord and received immediate healing. Remember Job? His test was long and painful, but God restored him as well.
When you seek the Word and instill it in your heart, God is pleased. He considers it a form of praise and it is that praise that positions us for a sudden blessing. This is why every time we hear the scriptures, "by His stripes you are healed" and "you are more than a conqueror," your spirit should be lifted and your faith fortified.
Today, don't let your situation interfere with your praise. Despite your situation, speak Faith Filled Words and Praise him for what he is doing! Remember 1 Corinthians 2:9, "...Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
Change your thoughts, Change your life!

Faith filled Words for Living!
It is great to be in his Kingdom!
Prayer: “Father, help me to keep my mouth shut and stay in an atmosphere of peace and productivity. Do not let me wander down the path of quarreling and confusion. Keep me focused on the task at hand. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
“Everyday each you have a designed plan that is already been set by God. Your daily life is not the product of oops or accident, but the product of a Divine purpose that is set by the Father. Many of you struggle each day with trying to figure out how to be successful while the answers are usually closer than you could ever imagine. The recognition that the Bible is your master success handbook is the key to unlocking whatever your heart desires. There are some very powerful rewards to those who recognize this:
The Word Unleashes Life within You. “ It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life,” John 6:63. Life is energy. The Word of God Creates Unexplainable Energy “…quicken me according to thy judgments,” Psalm 119:156
The Word Solves every battle. “ Thou through thy commandments has made me wiser than mine enemies,” Psalm 119:98
The Word Births Uncommon Joy. “These things have I spoken unto you, that joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full,” John 15:11
The Word is where answers wait for those who will seek him!
Prayer: “Father, give me the guidance and the patience to seek you through your Word. You left this Word and the comfort of the Holy Spirit to guide me each day. It is my prayer that I be quick to study thy Word so my divine purpose will be revealed. In the name of Jesus I pray, AMEN!
